^ but what if he becomes hooked on favoring his token more than he does for Bitcoin? Just a thought.

Trump and his family have never said they are bitcoin maximalists or just bitcoin supporters. Trump says he loves cryptocurrencies and wants to make the US the crypto capital, not the bitcoin capital.

He was a businessman and billionaire before becoming president. That means what he cares about when he advocates crypto and calls on his family to invest is profit, not supporting the decentralized revolution.

He and his family are working hard to promote TRUMP, WLFI and they are bringing them billions of dollars in profits. Don't be naive to think they are pro-bitcoin.
In reality, they are a family of business people, especially for Trump. Businesspeople usually think that "Business is a business", to seize every opportunity to maximize their potential profits, and they don't focus on just one path, but instead seek out opportunities from other perspectives. Therefore, I feel that the Trump family doesn't actually view Bitcoin as a financial revolution or decentralization, they view it as a business opportunity. It is even possible that they might abandon crypto when they see other, more profitable opportunities. So, I also think that they are not a pro-crypto or pro-bitcoin at all.

I definitely agree with this take.

Crypto for them is just another step in making their money into more money, preferably without too many risks and fast.
